The series is based on a concept created by one of the show's executive producers, Henry's agent Darren Dein. The movie is expected to capitalize on the surge of interest in British soccer in the United States following the World Cup, which was recently held in the country.

It's something that has been growing for some time with shows like Ted Lasso. "But this isn't a sitcom. It's definitely a drama, with some comedic elements, and it has some serious names backing it."
